#87632 - WHEELY KING COMPLETE ROCK CRAWLER CONVERSION SET

Rock crawling is the latest RC craze to hit 4-wheel vehicles,
but instead of the high-octane, adrenaline-fueled craziness of
drifting from Japan, this low-speed, thrill-packed off-road
adventuring comes from the mountain areas of America!

So what is crawling about? In stark contrast to the often
two-dimensional world of circuit racing and drifting on pre-made,
unchanging tarmac tracks, crawling gets you to attempt the
improbable by attacking near-vertical cliffs, slick rock faces and
piles of mountain rubble! Boulders, rock piles, mountain trails and
footpaths are the typical location for competitions or fun
meetings. Although in competitions the truck owners compete against
each other, the magic appeal of rock crawling is that each driver
competes against their own abilities, trusting in the strength of
their equipment and the machine that is bringing them up the
hill.

To make crawling more accessible to HPI customers, we're
offering a sweet Complete Crawler Conversion Kit
especially for the Wheely King! This basically makes any regular
Wheely King 4WD truck into our Crawler King kit (#102117 & #102118) and adds the excellent super-low
gearing #87634 Reduction Gear Box for
amazing hill-climbing capabilities! The Wheely King has proven to
be extremely popular with hobbyists, and it's also become a great
project truck for crawling enthusiasts to start a custom crawler
build with. To make things even easier for crawling maniacs to get
started, the Wheely King Crawler Conversion kit has just about
everything that's needed to convert a 4WD Wheely King into a
‘King crawler'! The kit includes everything necessary to
extend the wheelbase of the Wheely King, which will make it easier
to go over obstacles. Extra-grippy HPI Rock Grabber tyres provide
excellent traction on every surface, and are mounted on beadlock
Rock 8 wheels. New lower shock mount positions allow you to
fine-tune the suspension action for increased traction at both ends
of the truck. Finally, the chassis is flipped around so the battery
is at the front, putting the weight just where you need it to get
over and across whatever stands in your way.

Extended Wheelbase For extra stability when
crawling up steep inclines, the conversion set includes new longer
links that extend the wheelbase significantly over the stock Wheely
King. Cool anodized aluminium links with tough pivot balls control
the linkage and actuation, giving you loads of articulation for
extreme angles! Super-Low Gearing The included
#87634 Reduction Gear Box Set makes
the gear ratio an astounding 174 to 1, for monster torque to climb
the steepest of inclines! The stock Crawler King and Wheely King
gear ratio is 23 to 1, so you will instantly see the impressive
hill-climbing torque that the Reduction Gear Box Set will give you!
The Reduction Gear Box Set will make the Wheely King much slower on
level ground, but you will get the full effect of the gearing as
you encounter steep approach angles and slippery, sandy rocks!
(Comp Tip: Use a normal lower-turn motor such as a 19-turn or
27-turn motor to retain wheel speed as you approach an
obstacle!)

Amazing Rock Grabber Crawling Tyres HPI Racing
Rock Grabber Tires are high grip tires designed for rough terrain.
These rock crawling tires are moulded with sticky S compound rubber
for excellent grip on all kinds of rocks. The blocky tread pattern
wraps around the sidewall of the tire for extra grip in challenging
conditions. These are true bead lock tires, made to fit HPI rock
crawling wheels using 6-hole bead lock rings to keep the tyre
securely mounted on the wheel without the need for messy CA
glue.

Cool Custom Beadlock Wheels HPI Rock 8 beadlock
wheels are included to give the Wheely King crawler a sweet custom
look and allow you to change wheel weights, foams and tyres
whenever you need to. There's nothing like the look and style of
real beadlock wheels, and these new 'mag' style wheels look amazing
and perfect for the ultimate scale crawler look!

Lower Shock and Link Mounts To give you the
best tuning options and increase the amount of ground clearance,
HPI designers have included a new lower shock and link mount with
several extra mounting locations. This gives you a multitude of
options for tackling the toughest climbs, inclines and rock
piles.

Monster Truck Body Mounts For getting a cool
custom style, you can't beat the option of attaching different
bodies on your crawler. We've included a full set of Savage-size
body mounts for fitting dozens of different monster truck bodies!
Simply use your Savage or other monster truck body right on, quick
and easy, for a quick style change! No body is included with the
conversion kit, so you can choose your own scale-look Savage body
or any of the all-out competition bodies available.

All Hardware Included You'll get nearly
everything you need to make your Wheely King into a rock-pounding
monster! Longer upper plastic links, longer lower aluminium links,
pivot points, link and shock mounts, longer drive shafts, locking
wheel hubs and Savage-type adjustable body mounts are included in
the set. You'll be ready to rock and roll in no time! With the HPI
Wheely King Complete Crawler Conversion Set, you'll be able to get
right out and get crawlin', or build up the project crawler of your
dreams!
